Basic Operations (Recording)
To Watch One Program While Recording Another
Once you have set the VCR for recording, press VCR/TV. Now, you will be viewing
through your TV only. Switch channels using your TV controls or the VCR remote, if it's
programmed to control your television (see Advanced Operations).
The recording will continue as set on the VCR. If a preset timed recording starts up
while you are watching the TV, you'll hear the cassette as it clicks on and see the
recording indicator light up on the VCR display.
You can check on the recording by pressing VCR/TV again. This will switch you back to
viewing through the VCR, you'll see the program you are recording.
To Skip Commercials
When a commercial comes on that you don't want to record, simply press PAUSE on
the remote control. The VCR will stop recording. Press PAUSE again to continue
recording when you see the commercial is over. If you stay in PAUSE mode for more
than 5 minutes, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape.
To Change the Channel Being Recorded
Suppose you are recording one program, and you remember that something else is on
that you would rather record. You can change the channel while in the recording mode.
Press PAUSE to stop the recording temporarily. This is necessary because the
CHANNEL buttons won't work while you are in recording mode - to keep you from
accidentally switching the station while recording.
Change the channel to the one you prefer.
Press PAUSE to continue recording.
To Leave Index Marks on the Tape
This feature is useful when you are recording several programs on the same tape. It
helps you quickly find the beginnings of the shows during playback (page 32).
You create the index "mark" every time you begin recording by pressing REC. To leave
an index mark between shows, simply press STOP at the end of each show, then press
REC to record the next show. (Pressing PAUSE during recording does not leave an
index mark.)
During timed recordings, the VCR automatically inserts an index mark at the beginning
of the recording.
Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT)
The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button on the VCR) will let you make a
simplified timer recording without having to use the programming timer. In order to set
the IRT properly the clock must be set before starting.
Follow the steps 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on page 33.
After the recording has started, press the REC/IRT button again to indicate the
recording time on the display.
You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30 minutes, one
hour, one and half hours, two hours, three hours, and four hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30,
2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually pressing the REC/IRT button. While you are recording,
the time remaining is shown in the display.
At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then
